Education officials in Alberta are requiring schools to offer Arab as a language course for students, beginning this coming 2018-19 year.

Soon enough, the requirement will be imposed on schools across all of Canada.

The interesting sidenote is: Canada has historically been averse to allowing native Indian languages to be taught in its schools. Yet Arab is OK?

Edmonton Public Schools currently offers an Arabic language program that has been in place for a number of years, during which time the board has built up expertise and experience in delivering this program.

Next school year, a modified version of the program will be available for other school authorities across the province.
